Chapter 602: Spells
Seeing the old lady's businesslike attitude, Peony's heart was half cold, and she looked at Xie Songhua with a smile, "Princess! You know the slave and the maid, and the slave didn't hide it from you about the medicine before! You knew it at the time
Xie Songhua's eyes turned to her, but he didn't pick up the stubble immediately, but thought about it and said with relief: "Don't worry, there is no reason to wronged people at home, everyone is here!" Tell me what to say, we'll all be watching!"
This is what it means not to speak for her, Peony obviously didn't expect this, looked at Xie Songhua dumbfounded, and then swept her gaze over Xie Li.
saw that Xie Li was comforting Aunt Huang, and she didn't look at her side at all.
"These are from the peony girl's house, and some of them were found in her house," the butler asked with a calm look on his face and a respectful tone, "These things are really little understood, and they are really rare objects, so ...... I'll bring it to you, and we'll judge whether we've wronged the peony girl."
Hearing the housekeeper's words, Peony was a little stunned, wasn't it poison?
The old lady looked even more surprised, "What is worth making a fuss like this? Look at the kids!"
Although it is said that everyone is to be thoroughly investigated today, after all, Peony has been serving in front of the old lady for many years.
Except for Mama Shen, for the old lady, just a peony is the most heartly, it is for the prestige of Xie Yuncang and others in the family, and many people have been blamed for it, so she has no reason to demolish the stage for the children in the family at this time.
But now I heard that it was for some things, she was a little displeased, how other people in the house come and go, she can turn a blind eye, but if this idea hits her, it is absolutely impossible.
When Peony heard this, her face finally showed a little grievance, "Old lady!"
The housekeeper was not at all unhappy with the old lady's emotions, but opened the box, "Let's ask the old lady to take a look!"
With the status of peony, it is possible to get any kind of reward from the old lady, even if there are some things that are not given to her grandchildren, it is possible to give her a little bit of a star.
Therefore, when the housekeeper asked her to show it, she didn't care, but when she saw the things inside, her indifference immediately changed.
Because it involves Shou'an Hall, other people don't dare to coax at this time, and it's even more difficult to see the excitement of peony.
Therefore, the butler showed the box, and only the old lady could see the angle, and everyone did not come forward.
It's just that the eyes fell on the old lady's face, and when I saw her face suddenly darkened, I couldn't help but show doubts, look at each other, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what happened.
Peony was kneeling on the ground, because of the rules, she didn't dare to look up at Old Madam Xie's face, but she just listened to the tone of Old Madam Fangcai's maintenance, and only thought that she had passed the test safely this time.
Who knew that after the butler finished speaking, the whole world seemed to be quiet, which made Peony's heart that had been settled suddenly become uneasy again.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement, and she was hesitating, wondering if she should try to look up and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, there was a heavy blow on the head, and then the box that was originally in the hands of others rolled down in front of her.
"I'll give you a chance, you can explain it well, what are these?!"
When the strange smell landed in front of everyone, everyone present took a step back in surprise.
Xie Sihua exclaimed directly, "This ...... Isn't that a spell!"
Xie Songhua looked at the things on the ground, and he actually had a feeling of losing his sense of reality.
So, in ancient times, there were really a lot of people who would believe these things, even if they seemed to be very nonsense.
The thing on the ground is nothing else, it is the witch doll that she used to see in later film and television works.
Actually, it doesn't
There is a so-called sense of taboo that comes with this name.
Inside is just a small puppet, with a person's birthday written on it, and then a charm nailed to it.
It's just that the puppet in this box is a little weird, because the spell looks like it's written in blood.
The peony people were blinded, and her face suddenly turned pale, and almost immediately, she immediately denied it to the old lady, "No! Old lady, no! This was not done by the slave maid, how could the slave and maid perform a spell on the old lady? Slaves and maids have never ......."
"Isn't it, isn't there anyone in Shou'an Hall who can recognize your stitches?"
The old lady looked at the kneeling maid on the ground with cold eyes, and at this time there was no longer any maintenance of peony in her eyes, and she had lost the familiarity of peony in the past.
There is just total coldness.
Mama Shen didn't need the old lady to speak, she directly picked up the puppet, and then carefully identified it for a long time, and then handed it to the vernal equinox on the side, and the vernal equinox also didn't dare to be sloppy.
It was passed to Xie Di's hand again.
Xie Di, who has always been soft in front of people, had a very difficult face to see at this time, and after she carefully checked the puppet several times, she fell directly on Peony's face, and the needle poked on it made Peony scream in fright, and quickly turned her head away.
However, Xie Di used some strength because of the anger in her heart, and she couldn't completely dodge it, and the needle tail quickly slashed, leaving a bloody mark on her cheek.
"Old lady! No, the old lady, the slave maid's life is given by the old lady, for so many years, the slave and the maid have done their best to your old man, and they dare not slack off at any time, how can they do such a thing, old lady, the slave and maid can swear to the sky, and there is absolutely no ...... right."
"You dare to say that this thing didn't come from you? Since you believe this, then make an oath, as long as you swear to heaven that you did not make this thing, otherwise you will not die a good death, and after death you will fall into the eighteen layers of hell, we will believe you."
The words were said by Xie Sihua, and when such words came out of the mouth of a lady of all the people, there would be some disobedience, except for Xie Sihua.
Peony was just caught by these words, she had no way to deny it, she looked at Xie Sihua, her face was dazed.
The person who has been following her for so long, how can Old Madam Xie still not understand, as soon as she saw her look, she decided that these things must be from the hands of Peony.
"Needless to say, it's poisonous, so sell it to people!"
Mrs. Xie's words shocked everyone present, but no one opened their mouths to plead, including the other maids and daughters-in-law in Shou'an Hall, who had a good relationship with Peony on weekdays.
This crime is not a trivial matter, murdering the master, and by such means.
If it spreads, it will greatly damage Mrs. Xie's reputation.
What kind of master should be to let the maid who has been with him for many years have such a mind?
After the peony is processed, the people who find out that there is a problem in the yard here are considered to be clean.
Probably didn't expect such a thing to happen in her yard, and Old Madam Xie looked even more tired.
In addition, it was past lunch time, and it became more and more obvious that everyone present was wilting.
Xie Yuncang couldn't bear to see his mother look like this, and immediately hurriedly said, "Mother, can my son help you go back to rest?"
"No need, you still have your business, there is such a mess in the inner house, because I indulge too much on weekdays, and it has nothing to do with your grandfathers.
But there are those things in the house, you brothers have to check them carefully, and you all retreat!"
The old lady was obviously hit, and everyone didn't dare to stay here anymore, and they all bowed respectfully and retired.
Xie Li helped Aunt Huang to her yard, but was stopped by Xie Yuncang.
"Let's go to Dream Slope Residence."
There was no emotion in his tone, but it made Xie Li's whole body stiffen.
